Have you ever wondered just how amazing it would be to store your data on an optical disc for 1,000 years? Probably not, considering a) it's not remotely possible right now and 2) that's an awful lot longer than even the best lifespan you could ever hope for.

These days, it's tough to think of a storage company that has yet to dabble in the multimedia HDD space. LaCie has done it (a few times over), Seagate has done it, and now LG has done it.
